Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Al Montoya (1 year, $950K AAV)

[Booba]

Uh do you see any better goalies in our system?

He'll back up Price for sure.

Totally unfair to Condon

Also, as per career pattern, after a .920 season Montoya is due for another .890/.895 season.

Price
Condon/Scrivens/Fucale/Lingren/Montoya.

Competition sure is fierce for that no 2 spot...

I'm so ******* ecstatic really...

 

[Frederixx]

Really good backup, nice signing for sure.

 

[Rebuilt]

How many teams has Montoya played for now????

 

[MikeyMike01]

Now they can run Price out of town!

 

[BatVader]

Condon shouldn't even see the NHL this season.
After last season, he needs his confidence built back up. Play him in the AHL for a year and give him lots of coaching and support.
Montoya as backup.
Condon AHL starter
Lindgren AHL backup
Fucale traded or 3rd AHL goalie
Scrivens goes away

What ever happened to Tokarski?

 

[powerstuck]

i thought montreal couldnt sign UFA

et bien

Not only that but what about the taxes...could someone please think about the taxes those poor players will have to pay in Canada.

What ever happened to Tokarski?

Just declined more and more after looking pretty solid in the playoffs, simply too smart to be good in the AHL.

What ever happened to Tokarski?

traded to Anaheim last season

 

[Redline]

I think this is a good deal. As good as any other insurance policy for 950k.

 

[I am not exposed]

Good deal for the habs!

Wow, new Panthers regime sucks my arse.

Enjoy him, he earned the 3.5 they gave Reimer.

Rowe is a goddamn idiot.

To be fair to the Panther's new regime, Montoya only passed the "Eye Test", his underlying numbers were terrible. lol....

Not sure why they thought Reimer was worth $2.4 million per season more over 5 years?

Says the guy who would literally give Rocco Grinaldi a first line role
